NAME

billard-gl - OpenGL billiards game

SYNOPSIS

billard-gl [options]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents the billard-gl program. This manual page was
written for Debian because the original program does not have a manual
page.
billard-gl implements a game of 8- or 9-ball billiards, which you can
play against the computer or a friend. The general idea of billiards
is to hit the coloured balls with the cue ball in such a way that these
balls fall in one of the six pockets of the table.

OPTIONS

-f-fullscreen
switches to fullscreen mode (can currently not be changed from
inside billard-gl itself)
-f-windowed
switches to windowed mode (default; can currently not be changed
from inside billard-gl itself)
-t VALUE
texture size for the balls. Valid values are 1 for full size
textures, 2 for half size textures, 4 for quarter size textures,
and 8 for eighth size textures.
-tt VALUE
texture size for the table. Valid values are 1 for full size
textures, 2 for half size textures, 4 for quarter size textures,
8 for eighth size textures, and 0 for no textures.
-at VALUE
texture size for the display. Valid values are 1 for full size
textures and 2 for halfsized textures.
-g VALUE
ball geometry; odd numbers >= 3. Higher values create more
complex geometry.
To run billard-gl with minimum settings, try
billard-gl-t8-tt0-at2-g3
or for maximum settings, try
billard-gl-t1-tt1-at1-g11
All of the options are configurable from within billard-gl itself,
unless stated otherwise.
